Editorial Review:
Product Description:
Michal, a young Israeli girl in the 60s falls in love with Mikey, an American boy who has come to Israel and is an Elvis Presley fan. In order to hide her love, she bullies and makes fun of him, but he is not ashamed to tell her that he loves her. The story, from the collection Beginners' Love, is inspired by my own experience as a teen age girl in Israel. Love, so I've learnt at an early age, is bitter- sweet and time and place cannot dim its first powerful tremor.

Take a nice break for a bit of nostalgia by reading this short story in the middle of a hectic day. It is a story, that virtually anyone can relate to, that reminds us of the purity and sweetness (and sometimes angst) of first love.

Nava Semel, one of Israelis leading, outstanding authors, wrote a marvelous autobiografical short story of young love that apllies to all, very vivid, sensitiv, realistic and touching.
I love Nava Semel's work, we read and discussed all her books at our Hebrew Book Club in Chicago, I am delighted her work is translated into English and can reach out English speaking crowd.

Nava Semel's short story is a touching reflection on the beginnings of young love. She captures the feelings and sensitivies of young adults as they begin to experience feelings of love for the very first time, which remain with them throughout their lives. It is great that Naza Semel's work is brought to an English speaking audience.
Rating: -
Nava Semel's story of very young love is autobiographical fiction at its best: funny, moving and painfully true. Since relatively little of her work has been translated into English (although some is available on amazon) this short provides a rare opportunity to get acquainted with a distinguished Israeli writer.
